Charles Dickens House And Attached Railings

A terraced house dating from approximately 1807 to 1809, located in Camden. The house is constructed of darkened stock brick with a slate mansard roof and dormers. A plain stucco sill band runs along the first floor. It is three stories high, with an attic and basement, and features three windows. The round-arched doorway has a stucco surround with pilaster jambs, a cornice head, fanlight, and a panelled door. The recessed sash windows are set within gauged brick flat arches; the ground floor has louvred shutters, while the first floor has cast-iron balconies. A stucco cornice and blocking course are present. Original lead rainwater heads and pipes are also visible. The interior of the house has not been inspected. Attached to the property are cast-iron railings with urn finials to the areas. This house was the home of Charles Dickens between 1837 and 1839, and is now a house museum, which is the primary reason for its Grade I group value.
